Let the number of hours = X
Multiply the speed of each train by the number of hours (x) and add them together to equal the total miles:
75x + 95x = 238
Simplify:
170x = 238
Divide both sides by 170:
x = 238/170
x = 1.4 hours.
Check:
75 x 1.4 = 105 miles
95 x 1.4 = 133 miles
105 + 133 = 238 miles
It will take 1.4 hours ( 1 hour and 24 minutes).
So,
Optimally, we want a number between 1 and 10 multiplied by a power of ten.
If we move the decimal place 6 places to the right, we get 6.
So we want
.
The correct option is C.
Step-by-step explanation:
1 km = 1000 m
(hence the term "kilo" which means 1000).
so. he runs 1000 m at the rate of 3 minutes per km, that means 3 minutes per 1000 m.
now, we can see the solution already with our eyes.
but let's do it formally :
the rate or ratio between time and distance must be the same for the same speed.
so,
3 min / 1000 m = x min / 500 m
500 m × 3 min / 1000 m = x min
1/2 × 3 min = x min
3/2 = 1.5 min = x min
so, it takes him 1.5 minutes (90 seconds) to run 500 m.
Answer:
0.7
Step-by-step explanation:
10y = 7x + 5
Divide both sides by 10.
y = 7x/10 + 5/10
y = 0.7x + 0.5
On a straight line of the form y = kx + m, k is the slope of the line.
In our line, y = 0.7x + 0.5, k is 0.7. Thus, the slope of our function is 0.7
Answer: 0.7
I believe the answer would be 3/40
